Growing tomatoes - This is a complex and painstaking process on which your future harvest depends. There are two ways of planting tomatoes: planting directly in the ground and on toilet paper. Today we look at the second method.
What is needed?
We will need to grow seedlings in a snail:
- substrate;
- toilet paper;
- seeds;
- land;
- a can of sawdust;
- Shoe covers or package.
Did you know? In Europe, tomatoes appeared only in the middle of the 16th century, and the Incans and Aztecs first began to grow them in the 8th century.
Landing process
Yulia Minyaeva begins the process of landing in a snail by placing toilet paper on the substrate.
Important! Do the backing 2 cm more than toilet paper. This is done in order to give more nutrition to our tomatoes.
Seed germination
Moisten toilet paper with water and epin. This is done because the seeds are not always of good quality and the percentage of seedlings is small. According to Yulia Minyaeva, this helps increase the likelihood of tomato sprouting in a snail.
Sprinkle with earth
After that, the seeds must be well sprinkled with earth. It should be poured in such a way as to completely cover the substrate in the place where there is toilet paper. The layer should be about 1 cm. If you covered it with dry earth, it should be well moistened with ordinary water.
We displace a snail
The seaming process is done carefully, while compacting the cochlea. When the land is collapsed, it can fall out, it may be because it is too dry.
Familiarize yourself with such methods of growing plants: using toilet paper, growing seedlings in diapers, on hydrogel, hydroponics, beds, pyramids, and in buckets.
Sprinkle top with earth
Further we put our already rolled up construction and we put on it an elastic band in order that it did not break up. After this, be sure to sprinkle it over the ground. This must be done so that the coils inside are not visible, but only the ground.
Important! After pouring the top of the earth, water it well. This is necessary in order to have enough water before the moment of seed spitting, as we will not water them before.
Fix the construction
Pour dry sawdust in a jar or in any other container that is larger than a snail in size. Put the design there and fix it on the sides. Upstairs must wear a shoe cover or bag.
Storage rules
It is necessary to put a snail in a warm dark place and in no way a cold window sill.
Useful tips and tricks
Do not miss the moment when tomatoes start growing up. Once this happens, put the design on the windowsill and remove the package. This is done in order to grow tomatoes evenly.
Julia Minyaeva from the channel on Youtube "Whether in the garden, in the garden" advises planting tomatoes in a snail at the end of February, if you need them for early production. It can be tall tomatoes. And for open ground plant better from March 8 to 10. To sow tomatoes is not necessary all at one time. If you want to visually see how they plant tomatoes in a snail, go to the channel "In the garden, in the garden" on Youtube and watch the video. Good luck in growing!
